INTRODUCTION
Petrochemical is a major industry in Iran. As an important source
of non-oil revenues, it plays a significant role in the expansion of
local industries, the development and localization of technologies and
the growth of its downstream industries. It is also important for the
industry’s research and development activities. Diversity of feedstocks,
access to international waters and highly-qualified workforce are among
the major advantages of the industry.
The history of Iran’s petrochemical industry goes to 1963 when a fertilizer
plant was built in the city of Shiraz. One year later, the state-owned National
Petrochemical Company was established to spearhead the development
and policy-making for the industry. During 1964-1977, Razi (ex-Shahpour),
Abadan, Pazargad, Ahwaz Carbon Black (ex-Iran Carbon), Kharg, Farabi
(ex-Iran-Nippon) and Shiraz expansion projects were built. During this period,
a large portion of Bandar Imam Petrochemical Co. (ex-Iran and Japan
Petrochemical Co.) was completed.
This growth trend was, however, disrupted after Iraq invaded Iran in early
1980s. When the war came to an end, Iran implemented its first five-year
development plan (1989- 1994) after the victory of Islamic Revolution.
Under the plan, NPC reconstructed its war-damaged facilities and built
two new plants in Esfahan and Shazand (Arak).In 1997, NPC’s output
reached 5.2 million tons and in 2014 it rose to 57.1 million tons.
By implementing more than 67 approved projects, the output capacity will
surge and reach more than 120 million tons.

Petrochemical Special Economic
Zone (MAHSHAHR)
The Petrochemical Special Economic Zone is located
in the southwest of Mahshahr city, in Khuzestan
province, southern Iran, near the northern coast
of the Persian Gulf. The Zone now covers an area
of 2,600 hectares. When it was first established, it
only encompassed an area of 1,700 hectares.The
expansion came after Bandar Imam, Razi and Farabi
Petrochemical Complexes were annexed to the Zone,
which is linked to international waterways via Bandar
Imam Port and has access to Turkey, Europe and
Central Asian countries via Iran’s national railroad.
The main reason behind establishing the Zone was
to bring about industrial development especially
in the petrochemical sector and its downstream
industries. The zone offers a wide range of economic
and social benefits at local and national levels
including the attracting state-of-the-art technologies
and generating job opportunities.The Organization
of Petrochemical Special Economic Zone, which is
a subsidiary of NPC, is responsible for promoting
and developing the Zone. It began its activities in
1997 after receiving the respective sanction from the
nation’s High Council for Free Trade and Industrial
Zones. Among its major activities are developing
the infrastructural facilities with the aim of attracting
domestic and foreign investors. It is an outstanding
gateway to Iran’s abundant oil and gas resources.

COMPLEXES OF PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY
60
Some residents speak Arabic while the nomads speak
Turkish. Average temperature is 23.1° C and average
humidity stands at 67%-75% during 6:30 - 12:30 am. The
history of Bushehr goes back to the ancient Elam when
the Elamite kings used it as a naval base and a port city.
Having a 600km border with the Persian Gulf, Bushehr
enjoys a strategic position. Resisting aganist the foreign
intervention is a major part of the contemporary history of
Bushehr. With a host of different huge industrial project
underway in the province, including Bushehr Nuclear
Power Plant and Pars Special Economic/Energy Zone,
it has attracted a large workforce from other provinces.
Major industries and economic sectors in the region
Oil, gas, petrochemical, fishing and agriculture (date
palm groves) are the significant industries in the
province. The geographical advantages of Bushehr
including its vicinity to the Persian Gulf plus its fishing
and date industry play an important role in its economy.
But, its huge hydrocarbon reserves have considerably
boosted the economy of this province. Bushehr consists
of 9 cities, 29 towns, 22 districts and 43 villages.
The major natural, archeological and historical
places of interest in the province are as follows:
Bushehr: (in central region) the ancient Siraf region,
Qavam ancient underground water reservoir , Malek
Building, Shaqab Cemetery, Sheikh Sadoon Mosque,
Holy Christ Church, (in Kharg Island) the Dutch Castle,

Kangan
Kangan port is the center of the Town of Kangan. It lies on the southwest of the province on the
Persian Gulf coast nearby Bandar Dayer. It covers an area of 3,083 sq km and has a population of
over 95,000 people.
It has an ancient history which goes back to 350 BC. During the Safavid period, it was named
Kunaga. After the Safavid, the name was changed to Kangan. At the early Islamic period it was
named Bandar (port) Siraf. In the sixteenth century, Kangan was divided in two regions. The division
is still valid ever since despite some minor changes.
Poshtkooh region:
Jam district is located in this region which consists of Jam and Riz villages with 129 small hamlets.
Sheibkooh region:
The central section of the Town of Kangan is situated in this region.
The region covers the coast of Kangan and its suburbs. It consists of 70 villages and 3 hamlets namely
Assaluyeh, Nai Band and Taheri.Taheri Castle in Bandar Taheri, Mianloo hot spring and Seyyed Gharib
Mausoleum in Kangan, Jam palm trees and the beautiful Bandar Kangan and Bandar Taheri seashores
are the most fascinating places of interest in the area.The exploration of huge gas reserves in Kangan
has promoted the region’s role in Iran’s economy. Explorations of Kangan, Nar, South and North Pars
fields have led to enormous investment in Kangan. Fajr Refinery in Kangan and South Pars refinery
already under construction, are among the world’s largest refineries. Pars region has attracted Iran’s
huge domestic investment.

Assaluyeh Port
It is located on the northern coast of the Persian Gulf,
70 km southeast of Kangan Port. There is no consensus
about the origin and the meaning of the word Assaluyeh.
Some say that the fresh water that flew down from Bid
Khoon to a nearby valley was very tasty and refreshing.
As a result, the locals called it ‘Asal’, meaning honey
in Farsi. Some others say the word has originated
from the Elamite language and was written ‘aslaviyeh’
meaning port. And another interpretation is that the
word has its roots in the word ‘asl’ which means ‘pond’.
In 1998, Pars Special Economic /Energy Zone was
62
established based on a cabinet authorization to utilize the
gas from the South Pars field in a bid to develop the oil, gas,
petrochemical and their related downstream industries.
Covering an area of 30,000 hectares, the Zone lies on the
east of Bushehr province. It is 105km away from the offshore
South Pars Gas field. The Zone is bounded in the west by
Shirino village, in the south by the Persian Gulf, in the north
by the Zagros Range and in the east by Chah Mobarak
village. Its temperature fluctuates between 5-50 degrees
centigrade in the course of the year. The average humidity
ranges between 59-88 percent. Average annual rainfall is
about 180 millimeters.
Pars Special Economic/Energy Zone (Assaluyeh)
The Pars Special Economic / Energy Zone Organization
on behalf of Iran’s Petroleum Ministry and National
Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) manages and develops
the South and North oil and gas fields in the region.
The Zone consists of three regions; Pars 1 (South
Pars) with an area of 14.000 hectares, Pars 2 (Pars
Kangan) with an area of 16.000 hectares and Pars 3
(North Pars) with an area of 16.000 hectares. The
Organization was established in 1999 to support the
development of South Pars Gas Field, the world’s
largest gas field, through establishing, approving,
planning, implementing, utilizing and maintaining the
infrastructures such as roads, rail ways, ports, airports,
power plants and drinking water facilities. The availibility
of proper infrastructures in the up, middle and down
streams of oil and gas industry, Pars Complex Port,
the International Persian Gulf Airport, water and power
facilities, communication, roads and available natural
tourist attractions have made the region an ideal place
for local and foreign investors.
Lying on the coast of the Persian Gulf, the Zone has
access to the rich hydrocarbon resources in the region
providing lucrative conditions for foreign investment. It is
the hub of development activities underway at South Pars
gas field. With its reserves estimated at 14 trillion cubic
meters of gas and 18 billion barrels of condensates, the
field is the world’s largest gas field. It represents 6.8%
of the global gas reserves. Given the field’s capacity, 28
development phases and 3 giant LNG projects have so
far been planned to be implemented in Assaluyeh and
Kangan in an area of 30,000 hectares. Currently, the
first ten phases are onstream. On average, $1.5bn has
been invested for each phase.
The implementation work of phases 11 - 24 have been
started and are underway.
Several world-scale petrochemical plants are being
constructed in assaluyeh Zone as part of the country`s
3rd, 4th & 5th year development plans.
